Harry Potter - Series Fan Fiction ❯ Love For What You Believe In ❯ Disappearing Act ( Chapter 5 )

The Moon was crescent that night the boys stared up at it. A tremor ran across Draco and Harry’s green eyes turned to look up at his ivory skin.
“You’re cold” the brunette stated
“I am not” he said forcefully “It’s bloody freezing and it’s getting damp out, Merlin I think there’s mud on my robes...”
Harry erupted with laughter that echoed across the dark grounds of the school.
“You can’t hide anything from me any more Draco. I know all” Harry winked and Draco’s cheeks flushed slightly at the gesture and the use of his forename, which he was still getting used to. He smiled softly and stroked Harry’s hair, kissing him gently on the lips.
This is nice. I’ve never had such a peaceful and wonderful moment before Harry told Draco.
“Me either.” He replied out loud. Harry shivered.
“See now you’re cold too” Draco smirked.
“Ah so you admit it then, you WERE cold”
“I - err – dammit” he chuckled to himself at his own antics.
“Well it is cold” Harry stated matter-of-factly. “Let’s go inside.”
Draco frowned.
“Where to?”
“The room of requirement of course, I require hot chocolate”
Harry stood dragging Draco up by his hand.
The couple started to make their way back to the castle across the moonlit grass , the white stars staring down upon them. They walked across the dark grass hand in hand.
“Thank you for rescuing me by the way” Harry remarked, he took his hand out of Draco’s and wound it around the blonde’s waist. Draco put his newly free arm around Harry’s shoulders and pulled him in closer.
“You deserved it, I think it’s about time someone rescued you for a change.” Draco had an angry pout on his face which Harry found remarkably cute and so he couldn’t help but giggle at him.
“What?” The blonde asked oblivious.
“Nothing really. Just the face that you make when you’re being heroic is really adorable” Draco flustered and his face turned maroon as he uttered a nearly inaudible “thanks”
The castle was dark and still as the boys opened the doors and walked the halls. Not even a ghost crossed their path as they made their way to the room of requirement. Draco was curious as he watched Harry pacing up and down thinking ‘a place for us’
“Don’t forgot the hot chocolate you so require” Draco said aloud smirking.
‘With hot chocolate’ he added with a smirk.
The door appeared and Harry opened it with a grin. The room was basically an apartment complex so it had all their needs. There was a modern kitchen with black granite worktops and a large gas cooker as well as a microwave, kettle and blender and a table big enough for the two of them. There was a large open plan lounge with a coffee table in the middle surrounded by a set of black fabric sofas, a TV in front of the coffee table. The adjoining rooms were a bathroom, a study and the bedroom. The bathroom was a mix of ivory and black surfaces and the large corner bath took up a fair bit of the room. In the bedroom was a four poster bed just like the boys were used to but larger and the study was just filled with books and a large writing desk and bureau.
Draco walked over to the kitchen and looked at the blender
“What the hell are all these things?” he motioned round at all the electronics
“They’re called kitchen appliances Draco you use them to cook.”
“Right....” he said as he looked around at them blankly. “ I’ll let you use them...” Harry laughed at the sheer innocence in his voice when he was confused.
Harry walked up to him and opened the fridge and got out the carton of milk. Draco looked into the box of light in utter amazement. In the fridge he saw a many array of deserts and sweets. Harry closed the door, narrowly missing Draco’s nose, the blonde crouching with his mouth agape.
“i have to admit these muggles have some pretty good ideas, dessert is the best part of a meal you know” Draco stated sitting at the kitchen table.
Harry turned towards a work surface, his back facing Draco who was now sitting at the table.
“Well I actually requested them specifically, I love dessert you know. And the house elves in the kitchen make the best desserts.”
Harry’s smile gleamed at the blonde from over his shoulder. Draco stared admiringly and suspiciously at Harry’s back.
“what are you doing?” he asked, curious about what he had been doing for the past few minutes.
“I said I wanted hot chocolate… so here we have it” Harry replied turning with two steaming mugs and sitting next to him at the table. Draco looked excitedly over the rim of the mug as Harry pushed it towards him. The blonde frowned.
“it doesn’t look much like chocolate” he uttered looking at the pink and white swirling surface of the drink.
“Just try it already” Harry chuckled lifting his own mug to his lips. Draco hesitantly drank only to find that this curious top layer was incredibly sweet and hid the chocolate drink beneath it.
“Its.... its.... so yummy...” Draco whispered in awe. Harry couldn’t help but laugh, Draco Malfoy – the boy the wizarding world saw as the ruthless son of a death eater - just said ‘yummy’ and had the sparkling eyes of a child.
“What are these things on the top?” Draco asked tipping the mug from side to side and watching the top layer swirl.
“They’re mini marshmallows Draco.”
“Well they’re very good” he stated.
Hm, a Friday night drinking hot chocolate opposite a very sexy blonde, couldn’t ask for anything more... Harry thought casually to himself, only it wasn’t just to himself as Draco was spluttering the other side of the table, seemingly choking on one of the mini marshmallows he enjoyed so much.
“Sorry Draco!” Harry said rushing to his side “I probably should have just said it aloud”
“I think I still would have choked” Draco rasped gathering his breath back. Harry smiled and rest his chin on Draco’s shoulder.
“Who would have though eh, us becoming this close....” Harry sighed onto his neck.
“I know” he replied lifting Harry’s head so that their eyes met “but i wouldn’t have changed anything about it” his lips closed in on Harry who accepted them with a smile. It felt so good to have someone to care about and to care about him, really care about him. They broke apart and Harry’s emerald eyes beamed happiness up at Draco.
“Well we have a whole weekend to ourselves now, what do you want to do?” Harry asked stretching his arms above his head. Draco yawned and also stretched. Harry watched as the blonde’s muscles tensed under his shirt.
“Right now I think I need to sleep” he said standing, he offered his hand to Harry who took it willingly and they walked into their bedroom hand in hand and cuddled together in their boxers and tees that the room had supplied them with. It was the most peaceful and restful night’s sleep that either of them had experienced for months.

The boys woke early the next morning after such a restful night’s sleep.
Two days of pure heaven... Harry thought as he stretched his arms up above his head, Draco just grinned and rest his chin on Harry’s chest and looked up at him with silver eyes.
“Let’s start day one then” the blonde’s smile widened as he lifted himself out of the bed.
Harry just lay there with a confused face, the confusion grew greater as Draco offered his hand. Harry took it still curious as to what Draco was planning. He couldn’t see into the blonde’s mind and he just frowned as he was jerked out of bed and into the bathroom, which to Harry’s amazement looked completely different to yesterday. The room was now much larger and a pool sized bath sat along the edge of the room. The whole room was tiled with ivory and black tiles and two shower heads were perched on the wall and in between them were small shelves filled with soaps and shampoos. Draco turned one of the shower heads on, whipping round and showering Harry in the face. The brunette stood agape and let the water flow off of him and down the gradually sloped floor to the drain in the middle. He watched the water swirl in the drain but was not left in his daze long as a jet of cold water ran straight down his back.
“Dammit Draco that’s freezing!” He shouted moving out of the icy jet stream. “How did the bathroom get like this?” he asked looking around him at the magnificent room.
“That would be me, don’t you think this way is much more fun ...” the blonde smirked as he aimed the shower at Harry once again, who dodged and grabbed the other shower and managed to spray Draco in the face.
Payback... Harry chuckled and mimicked Draco’s famous smirk.
This is war! The blonde declared back, he ran at Harry pouring water over his chest. Harry countered and streamed water all over the top of Draco’s head, his hair went limp and stuck to his features. The blonde’s eyes widened and Harry thought he just might cry then and there, the brunette took a step forward and opened his mouth to speak when Draco dived at him. Harry tried to dodge him but slipped and tumbled to the floor, as he fell he grabbed Draco’s arm for support and they both ended up on the floor in a heap. Draco rolled over and straddled Harry before the golden boy had a chance to catch his breath. Harry looked up into his eyes not seeing anger, but a spark of childish thrill just like he’d seen the evening before.
“you amaze me” Harry said with a cheery smile.
“I do, how so?” the blonde asked now tracing a finger up and down Harry’s chest causing the brunette to shiver.
“The way you can find childish joy in everything it’s just, its’ just....”
Pathetic... Draco thought, his eyes narrowing with realisation.
“No, it’s just so sweet” Harry replied lifting his hand to caress his cheek reassuringly. Harry shifted himself up and brushed his lips against Draco’s, their gleaming skin pressed together as Draco embraced the boy beneath him and drew the kiss in closer. Draco pulled away and rest his forehead against Harry’s.
Thankyou....
“For what?” The dark haired boy asked.
“For accepting me, for me.”
“I wouldn’t have you any other way” Harry replied snaking his arms around the blonde’s hips and pulling him closer.
The boys finished their shower and dressed, retiring to the kitchen for breakfast.
“That cinnamon soap is delightful” Draco stated running his hand down his arm.
“Yeah, it makes you smell even more irresistible” Harry smiled at the blush that adorned Draco’s face and he put a pot of tea in the centre of the table. The boys dined on a breakfast of fruit and yoghurt before sitting in the lounge area.
“what is there to do here?” Draco asked. Harry pointed at the dark box that sat on a stand infornt of the coffee desk.
“And that is....”
“It’s called a television.”
“And you do what with it?”
“You watch films on it”
“Right... what’s a film?”
Harry sighed end opened the draw of the TV stand pulling out some DVDs.
“You’ll just have to watch and learn.”
Harry put the film Ocean’s Thirteen into the machine and cuddled up on the settee next to Draco.
“That was rather ingenious.” Draco stated during the credits.
“Yeah, I have to say you followed along pretty well considering you’re not a muggle.”
“Ah I’m smarter than I look” he grinned leaning over to the coffee table and picking up a DVD and looking at the case.
“How about this one?” he asked shoving it in Harry’s face
“That’s Bridget Jones’ Diary”
“And?”
“It’s a chick flick”
Draco just stared blankly at him
“... A girl’s film” he added.
The blonde just emitted a small ‘oh’ and looked slightly crestfallen.
“And of course we can watch it” Harry replied leaning over and taking the box from Draco’s ivory hands and leaving a gentle kiss on his cheek.
The rest of their day consisted of cuddling together on the couch and watching a many array of films ranging from chick flicks to horrors to comedy.
The evening came and Harry rose from the settee in the middle of Thirteen Ghosts.
“Hey where are you going!? You can’t leave me here on my own to watch this, these ghosts are insane!” Draco called peering over the back of the couch his eyes wide.
“Dinner needs to be cooked Draco, you just watch it, it’s not that bad” Harry smiled at him encouragingly.
Draco tried to sit but couldn’t watch the film. These ghosts were nuts and he couldn’t concentrate without Harry being beside him.
Harry stood in the kitchen peeling potatoes ready for their evening meal.
Draco crept up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist and nibbled gently on his neck.
“Why are you doing that? We could request meals from the kitchens.”
“Cooking is a good skill to know Draco”
“Hmmm if you say so...”
“And aren’t you supposed to watching the film?” Harry inquired as Draco’s hands roamed over his stomach.
“I couldn’t concentrate without you being there, besides those ghosts really were insane.”
They ate their meal with bright smiles on their faces talking of quidditch and general school. The rest of their weekend was filled with homework and films and small kisses at random times throughout the day. It was by far the happiest weekend that either of them had ever had. They’d been missing for 2 days and didn’t care of the consequences for they were truly happy. Draco went down for breakfast first on the Monday morning and was followed by Harry minutes later so it didn’t look too suspicious. Only their close friends would have noticed that the two were missing for the weekend and they’d just deal with the questions asked when the time came.
Harry walked into the hall and saw Hermione at the table sitting alone
That’s odd... he thought, Draco hearing this looked up from his place at the Slytherin table.
Harry waved when she looked up at him she waved back with a smile but her smile faded slowly and her face tuned to worry, she was looking behind him.
“Where have you been hiding then!?” a voice raged from behind him. Harry slowly turned to look into the furious face of his best friend Ron.
